I wasn’t able to find exact measurements, but I’d guess the travel is between 1.1-1.2mm. The actuation is fairly stiff and satisfying but the travel is short and the keys bottom out rather abruptly. There is no backlighting, the keys are smaller in order to fit the deck, and there’s not a lot of travel. The keyboard is a full 10-keyless with function/media keys (strangely there are no brightness adjustment keys, yet there are for volume-which is redundant due to the existing volume rocker) and is about par for what you’d expect in an 11.6-inch budget device. It is quite a bit more solid than other machines in the same price range. Overall, the build quality of the WinPad A1 is robust and reassuring, especially for such a cheap device. You’d even be forgiven for thinking that they are the same laptop when viewed from a distance. Especially in its orange colourway, the design cues that VOYO “borrowed” from the Yoga 3 11 are quite clear. ![]() The WinPad A1 Plus comes in two colors: safety orange and silver. ![]() Gravity sensor, front-facing (480p) + rear-facing camera (1080p), steroid speakers, integrated microphone, trackpad lock switch Windows 10 Home (Chinese by default, but can be changed to English) USB 2.0 x 2, microSD card reader, micro HDMI, 3.5mm audio, SIM card (no LTE), DC-in (12V) Intel Cherry Trail X5-Z8300 64bit Quad Core 1.44-1.84GHz)Ħ4GB eMMC 4.51 – microSD card up to 128GB Specs Screenġ1.6-inch 1920 x 1080 px FHD 10-point capacitive IPS screen ![]() Can $276 (though currently a cheaper $245.89 due to an Intel promotion) USD really get you a good 2-in-1 from a lesser-known brand? Let’s find out. This review will examine one of the popular offerings from the Chinese manufacturer VOYO: the WinPad A1 Plus. Just as Chinese smartphones have become a viable option for cost-conscious consumers worldwide, companies you might never have heard of, such as Chuwi, Teclast, and VOYO, are looking to become household names in the low-end ultrabook and 2-in-1 market. Long skilled at producing “shan zhai” knockoffs of famous brands for domestic consumption, they are starting to market their own inexpensive takes on the 2-in-1 convertibles and ultrabooks overseas. Much like the tablets they have mostly superceded, these inexpensive 2-in-1s, popularized by the Asus T-series, are aimed mostly at casual content consumers.īut while the Taiwanese manufacturer Asus is currently focusing more on the somewhat higher-end of 2-in-1s with the redesigned Chi, Transformer, and the UX360 series, Chinese manufacturers are looking to appeal to the low-end market. While the limitations of tablets have become clear in terms of productivity and consumer allure, as evidenced by their declining sales year-on-year, the 2-in-1 convertible notebook has made a big splash in PC sales.
